The first plane-load of Afghan refugees arrives in Auckland, New Zealand. They are greeted by supporters waving signs bearing slogans such as “No Human is Illegal” and “Hands off Afghanistan.”

The seven-man CIA team, code-named JAWBREAKER, landed in the Panjshir Valley on Sept. 26, 2001, just 15 days after the 9/11 attacks, carrying millions of dollars in cash intended to help enlist and equip Afghan allies. cbsn.ws/3V3WjyG

June 2014 "Back then our enemy was the regime, and they were just following orders. But now we have a common enemy, and follow common orders." After the fall of the Yanukovych regime, the new head of the Ministry of the Interior reformed the now-infamous Interior Troops (units which included "Berkut") into the National Guard. About a 1000 Maidan Self-Defence volunteers were recruited to form two new battalions, but practically all of the 30,000 Guardsmen were the former Interior Troopers, retained under this new system, now fighting alongside those they fought on the Maidan. In this video, two former Self-Defence fighters recruited into the National Guard talk both about how this transition from anti-government to government forces proceeded, and what the relations between the "old" and the "new" guardsmen were like.
NEW | What’s often missed in discussions of the Maidan is the dynamism of how, over time, small groups of self-defense volunteers grew into a 10,000 strong force that toppled the Yanukovych regime, before volunteering to fight the Russian invaders. Read more on Casus Belli⬇️

In 2026, Russia 🇷🇺 barely advanced in Ukraine 🇺🇦 but continued to update their official maps and claims. This gives more than 5 000 km2 difference between the reality and what Russia claims. 🧵THREAD🧵1/7 ⬇️

A rare ground-level view of the Chonhar crossing connecting occupied Crimea with mainland Ukraine, showing the extent of damage to the original bridge and the improvised Russian alternatives. Following Ukrainian strikes on June 7 and 9, 2026, Russian forces began constructing a massive earthen causeway alongside the damaged bridge. The footage shows vehicle using this new crossing, damaged concrete bridge supports and spans, and destroyed sections of the nearby pontoon crossing. The original bridge remains out of full service, with traffic diverted onto this 'temporary' route.

Notice how PA don't target stuff that's relevant to the IvP situation but *do* target stuff that is highly relevant to equipping British forces for a hot war. They're Russian military saboteurs and should be dealt with accordingly
Martin-Baker’s factory in Woking might have produced the ejector seats that saved the lives of 2 RAF pilots yesterday - but Palestine Action thinks it’s a great idea to smash the place up. There are some solar panels the left like - and some they don’t.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, including officials in the meeting, tells me this did not happen; in their meeting at the UN, Trump did not urge Ukraine’s president to meet Putin in Moscow. The two leaders discussed potential future trilateral talks, but what is described in the story below did not occur.

🚨 22:42 | New Little Birds Map 👀 The launches are still only ramping up, but the main direction for tonight is already beginning to emerge — Moscow Oblast. The largest number of little birds is currently over Bryansk Oblast — numerous groups are moving across the region toward Kaluga and Smolensk Oblasts, from where they could potentially continue toward Moscow Oblast. There are relatively few over Kursk Oblast so far — only isolated groups. Several more little birds are being detected over Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts, moving toward Rostov Oblast, while some farther south are heading toward Krasnodar Krai. Around Crimea, there are currently only a few isolated groups. Overall, this is still just the beginning — the main wave is currently forming over Bryansk Oblast. Let’s see how large tonight’s flow gets 👀 Data is based on Russian monitoring resources. The map does not show the full picture — some UAVs may be outside the monitoring resources’ field of view.

Latvia follows Poland to acquire these systems. NATO’s Eastern Flank continues to build up their capabilities. Having such systems available in the Baltics makes them a much thornier target.
